Hi Jesse, I've just rechecked the stereo Lt/Rt mix well as well as the 5.1 mix sent to the authoring facility and found no beeping in the background.

The Quad audio in the case of Dynasty is the typical 4 channel cinema audio configuration: L/C/R/S.

I'm sure they used the term Quadro to jump onto the Quadraphonic music association of the time period (Lf, Rf, Ls, Rs). Quad in this case, meaning standard film 4 channel (left, center, right, & surrounds). What I found amazing was there was an independent production in 1977 which had a release...

Or not... https://books.google.com/books?id=dMLLDAAAQBAJ&pg=PT170&lpg=PT170&dq=SR_D+mix+dante+matinee&source=bl&ots=hGi9d8ZCNR&sig=ACfU3U0wlDYH0nGM1Xr0HIZmfJSyZkiPsw&hl=en&ppis=_e&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjjou2lxY7oAhWEGM0KHWqRC4gQ6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=SR_D mix dante matinee&f=false

The original 3-D version of "Hypnotic Hick" will be included on the upcoming release of "Wings of the Hawk". Both will be viewable in either 2-D or 3-D.

3-D bluray specs allow for 1080p at 24fps, or 720p at 30 or 60fps. Am pretty sure the R2 3-D bluray release will be 1080p@24fps.

I would then recommend doing a comparison yourself and you'll quickly discover it is not an opinion. That's proof. Agreed- the film is a classic.

Yep!

btw- Thanks for mentioning the thread in the streaming section, as it's good to see others quickly caught this issue as well. (And the poor imdb reason given by someone there doesn't fit at all, and is typical of an imdb posting) For me, even on my first listen it was hard not to miss.

No, it's not my opinion. I've listened to the 5.1 track and then listened to the same section with the mono track. Many sound effects found in the new 5.1 mix often disappear in the original mono mix. And they weren't there in the previous remixes. If you're familiar with the original mix...

Compare it to the mono mix

For the latest remix, they added new sound effects throughout.

And with the dynamic range one would expect for premiere Roadshow engagements. Just looking at the audio waveforms, it is clear the mono track is pretty compressed.

Each title will have it's own unique challenges, but often in these cases there are things going on behind the scenes that are never known. For example, Kino's upcoming bluray of THUNDER BAY was Universal's very first multi-channel (L/C/R) theatrical release, just before "It Came From Outer...

The feature was remixed for 5.1 for the 2009 DVD release which was later carried over to the bluray version. If you can find the older first DVD release, it has the original 4.0 mix.
